Spring Break…Beware!

When school is in session, my life is pretty much relegated to my desk and computer, without much time for anything else.  It’s fairly exhausting and so I try to take a breather once in a while.  So now after 8 grueling weeks of school, spring break is here at last.  This is a great time to catch up on everything you’ve had to put on hold or missed.  Whether that be TV shows, movies, friends, or sleep, the break gives you a chance to indulge in all of them.  In this way, spring break is a wonderful blessing and provides much needed rest.  Enjoy it while you can, but don’t let your guard down because sin, unfortunately, does not take a break.  It has plans of its own, and idleness is one of its greatest weapons.  Even a man after God’s own heart can be slain by it.  So, avoid idleness.  Be active.  It doesn’t have to involve school, if that’s what you’re taking a break from.  Do what you haven’t had time to do.  Catch up with friends, get out of the house, spend time with family.  And if you haven’t had time to spend with God during your busy season, this would be a great time to do that too.  So, during this break, get out and run, serve, and by all means, pray.  Your desk will still be there when you return next week.
